The two hardest problems in programming:

(1) cache invalidation

(3) off-by-one errors

(2) appropriately naming things

(4) parallel execution [leading to race conditions / ordering bugs]

I think you win a bad in-joke award - the first annual Turing-Dad joke award.

Minor quibble, it should be the three hardest problems.

[bluejekyll → rileymat2]

It should be, but the increments were run in parallel on nonvolatile memory.

The two hardest problems in computer science are:

1) Naming 3) Cache Invalidation 2) Off-by-one errors 3) In-order once-only delivery of distributed messages

And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope
